Aperture reinstallation on new computer

How does one download Aperture (already purchased online for old computer, i.e. no installation disc available) onto a new computer?

What version?
I think (not certain) you can just download the trial, then pop in the serial number (or registration code, or whatever phrasing Apple uses) -- Apple - Aperture - Download a 30-day trial of Aperture 3

How 2 Install Aperture on a new computer

I just ordered a new Mac Pro. I have Aperture on my old computer and I want to install it on the new one. I don't want to use the Aperture v1.0 CD then do all the updates to get to the latest version. Is there a way to download the latest version of aperture, then just enter my serial number or something.
Also, once Aperture is installed, what's the best way to connect the two Macs together so I can move the library from old to new. My Mac (and other windows computers) are all on a LAN in my home.
--Scott

1. Try using the Aperture trial with the retail serial number.
2. Click here for information.

Transferring aperture to a new computer

Hi,
I just bought a new mac and would like to install Aperture back onto it - how do I do this?
I originally bought it before the Mac App Store days where you would download the trial and then insert your license key. How do I do this again as going through the App Store requires me to re-buy it...
Thanks!

If you downloaded the Trial version and bought a licence key, try if this download link still works and unlock it with your licence key (you can see the licence key in the "About Aperture" panel on your old mac:
http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/Aperture/061-8328 .20101020.AprE3/ApertureTrial3.1.dmg
Save yourself a copy of the trial, before it vanishes completely.

Getting aperture 3 onto new computer

I have aperture 3 and it is not allowing me to transfer the application into my new imac. Is there an update, etc. I can get to ba able to put it on my new imac without buying a new aperture software?

Do you have Aperture 3 on disk, or did you purchase it from the App Store?
Are you trying to migrate Aperture 3 from your old Mac to your new Mac? This is not advisable, even if it seems to work. It's better to install the pro apps from scratch on a new Mac (or if you upgrade to a new release of OS X.)

Copy images to new computer, but keep settings in Aperture - How?

My subject pretty much sums it up. I have two computers running aperture. I want to copy my images & adjustments made in Aperture, to the new computer while keeping the adjustments & ratings, etc.
Here's the goal:
1. Download images to my computer for backup.
2. Copy images to External Hard Drive for Computer #2.
3. Let assistant edit/rate photos on Computer #2.
4. When done, copy adjustments/ratings/photos to Computer #1.
How do I do this?
Thanks,
Josh
PS. I tried just copying the referenced files to Computer #2, but it didn't keep the settings.

In that case, if you have 2 machines, here's what I'd recommend:
On the machine you're using for remote shoots, use a managed library (keep the shots in Aperture). On the weekly basis, export the projects from the wedding(s) you shoot in their entirety. Import them to the other machine, and at that point convert to a referenced library.
I don't do weddings but I shoot landscape and this is how I handle managing my shots between the MacBook Pro I travel with, and the Quad G5 I use in the office.

After reinstallation on a new computer program did not start

Why did the program not start after reinstallation on a new computer????

If my memory serves me correctly you can only have Aperture 3 installed on 1 computer at a time so if you have it installed on the original Mac and this new system at the same time it may give you a multiple installations detected warning or something of that nature.
Best of luck.
That is correct however Aperture does allow multiple installs to allow a user to have Aperture running on one computer at a time. For example a photographer may have a MacPro notebook and and Mac Pro desktop. He can use the license when he's on a shoot in the field using the MBP while the Mac Pro sits dormant at home. The software is sophisticated enough to detect he's trying to run one license on multiple machines simultaneously. I have successfully migrated Aperture myself and use it on my iMac and MacBook Air however as stated only one machine at a time.
The OP mentions the machine is new to him, which complicates matters quite a bit. I hope he got the original media from the seller if he did not then there is a good chance he is running illegal software and was duped by the seller. The OP doesn't say where he got the iMac so I'm assuming he bought it used, if I am correct then this is one the problems of buying used, caveat emptor. If I'm incorrect (like maybe it was a hand-me-down from a relative) then all he needs to do is get the media and key code.

My new computer is "offline" to Aperture

I bought a new laptop to replace a previous one. I used Migration Manager. All the photo files and the Aperture Library are where they previously were. I renamed the HD on the new computer to match that of the old. I am the same user name and password.
But Aperture is constantly telling me that my HD (of the exact same name) is offline and I cannot do anything with the photos that I click on. Please help.
I "rebuilt the library" which was something I learned here. Still the same.

I had the same problem after migrating my library to a new laptop. The steps below are a little techy but worked for me.
Solution was:
1. Choose one of your offline photos and manually reconnect it using File --> Manage Referenced Files. Make a note of it's file name.
2. Using TextWrangler and the instructions here http://www.bagelturf.com/files/97660a1a1ba5b7f45c1d43b34dbce327-812.html find the diskUuid of your old hard drive and the diskUuid of your new hard drive. (The photo you manually changed in step 1has the new diskUuid.)
3. Do a search and replace swapping the old for the new.
4. Re-open Aperture while holding down option and command.
5. Choose rebuild Library when prompted.
6. Wait.
7. Rejoice in recovered library without having to manually reconnect tens of thousands of images...

Help with Aperture on new computer

I have bought Aperture a long time ago (version 1). When updated to new version I have bought that too. Had Aperture version 3 on my old iMac and transferred that to my new iMac. When I start Aperture it ask for serialnumber. I have serialnumber from the upgrade but that doesnot seems to work. I have wiped out everthing on my old computer and sold it, so I cannot check for any other serialnumber.
I tried to buy Aperture again, but it says "Already installed" and I did not get any new serial numer that way.
What to do?

After reinstalling Aperture on a new Mac you need to enter all serial numbers, beginning with the first version you bought, then the upgrade serial numbers. If you no longer have the Aperture 1 and 2 serial numbers, contact Apple for a replacement serial number.
See this support article: Pro Application Replacement Serial Numbers
If you want to buy Aperture again, but cannot, because it is already installed, deinstall it, then try to buy from the AppStore, but with a proof of purchase Apple should provide you with a replacement serial number.

Advice for moving to, and updating Aperture on, new computer?

I am moving to a new MacBook Pro with Retina Display, from a 6-year-old MacBook Pro. I'm looking for tips to make the transition smoother.
I will be upgrading to the newest version of Aperture. I currently have Aperture 3.4.5. Everything is all on my laptop. The Aperture file is 938 MB, and is SLOW! It's barely usable as it is.
I will be using TimeCapsule to transfer files. My current OS is 10.7.5.
Should I update Aperture before I move it? Should I move it, and then update it? Should I (somehow!) "disconnect" the files from the program and then reconnect them after they are transferred?
I'd like to make this transition as painless as possible!
Thanks for any advice you can give me.

1. You can't update Aperture past 3.4.5 from 10.8.5 or earlier. You need to move it and then perform the update.
2. See #1.
3. No. Just keep a backup of them.
4. If you got Aperture from a DVD and the new computer's running Yosemite, you'll probably need to contact Apple to perform the update.

Aperture vaults - setting up new computer with vault

Hi there.
I have a MacBook with a large aperture vault on a separate hard drive. I have now bought a new iMac. Can I use the vault from my Macbook to set up all my photos on my new machine, thereby saving me hours of work. HELP
Di from Devon

Yes, you can restore Aperture to another Mac from a Vault. Just do not expect it to be quick.
-Allen Wicks
From the manual:
Restoring Your Aperture System
If you buy a new computer or use another system at a different location and want
access to the Aperture library, you can install Aperture and then transfer the library
from your vault (on your backup disk) to the other computer. If you experience
equipment failure or other unexpected events, such as fire or weather-related damage
to your equipment, you can easily restore the entire library to your new computer from
a backup disk.
To restore the entire library from an external backup disk:
1 Connect the hard disk drive that contains the most up-to-date vault to your computer
and open Aperture.
2 Choose File > Vault > Restore Library.
The Restore Library dialog appears.
3 Choose Select Source Vault from the Source Vault pop-up menu.
4 Navigate to the vault from which you want to restore, then click Select.
5 Choose Select Destination from the Library Destination pop-up menu.
6 Navigate to the location where you want to place the library, then click Select.
7 Click Restore, then click Restore again.

Help..need an Aperture 2 serial number to access my library on new computer

I just bought a new computer and have migrated my files but cannot access my Aperture application or library because it is asking for my original Aperture serial number. I have my Aperture 3 upgrade serial number but it wants the original Aperture 2 serial number which I didn't save. I called the Apple store and they said any Aperture 2 serial number will work. does anyone have an Aperture 2 serial number which I could use? I would so appreciate it. I'm in despair/disbelief over this.

Welcome to the Aperture forum
Hmmmm I tend to think carolya that no-one will be prepared to surrender their Aperture 2 serial number somehow....
If you have Aperture 2 already, as you say you have.... then the original serial number is on the back of the cardboard box that it came in....

Install Aperture on new computer

I converted my Trial copy of Aperture to a full license on an old computer and now want to transfer that to a new one. As far as I can tell, there are no "trial" copies in downlads and the upgrade downloads don't work unless it's already installed on the computer. I beleive I downloaded Aperture 2 Trial, but it's no longer available.
How can I move to my new computer?

Try if this download link for the trial version still works: if yes, you can unlock it with your serial number from the boxed version:

After migrating to a new computer, Aperture will not accept registration on new computer (OS10.6.7)

Just got a (new to me) iMac and used firewire to migrate apps and data from an iMac OS 10.5.8. However, Aperture will not recognize the registration number. Help, please.

If my memory serves me correctly you can only have Aperture 3 installed on 1 computer at a time so if you have it installed on the original Mac and this new system at the same time it may give you a multiple installations detected warning or something of that nature.
